IM Series speeds up and simplifies inspections for Timex
Keyence 's IM Series image dimension measurement system puts much faster in-process inspection within everyone 's reach. Timex is America 's leading watchmaker and is present in more than 80 countries. Fralsen, its French entity, makes watch movements using three technologies - plastic injection moulding of small parts with very fine details; turning and cutting of parts such as wheels, pinions, arbors and rivets; and cutting and coiling of complex springs. These precision parts must be inspected with contact sensors (comparators, Cary equipment, feeler-spindles) and optical systems.
